China News Service, Beijing, August 27 (Reporter Li Xiaoyu) In response to Canada's plan to take restrictive measures on imports of electric vehicles and other goods from China, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China said on the 27th that China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this and will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.

On August 26, the Canadian government issued an announcement stating that it would impose additional tariffs and other restrictive measures on electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products imported from China.

In this regard, the spokesperson said that Canada has disregarded facts and WTO rules, ignored China's repeated solemn representations, and ignored opposition and dissuade from many parties, and has insisted on its own way. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this.

The spokesperson pointed out that Canada claims to support free trade and the multilateral trading system based on WTO rules, but it blatantly violates WTO rules and blindly follows individual countries in announcing that it will take unilateral tariff measures, which is typical trade protectionism.

The spokesperson said that Canada's move will disrupt the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain, seriously undermine the global economic system and trade rules, severely impact China-Canada economic and trade relations, damage the interests of enterprises in both countries, affect the welfare of Canadian consumers, and undermine Canada's green transformation and global efforts to address climate change.

The spokesperson said that China urges Canada to immediately correct its wrong practices. China will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. (End)
